The above are the words of Rev
Thos. K. Beecher, and thousands Of
people might reap immediate profit
if like him, they would use theil
reason instead of being governed
by prejudice.
HON. TOM CRUTCHFIELD
was known to thousands of people
throughout the United States. and
especially TO citizens of his native
State, as a man of broad views.
deep research and universal charity.
He was at one time Commissioner
of Agriculture for the State o.
Tennessee, President of bank il
Chattanooga and owner of the
famous farm "Amnicola." He was
also patron and correspondent o
the leading agricultural newspapers
of the country, and contributed
much to the development of tn,
New South. The following letter
from him shows that he believed
like Mr.. Beecher, that the way t.,
benefit mankind was to make pub
lie any valuable information he had
acquired.
AMNICOLA, NEAR CHATTANOOGA
. February II, 1881.
To the Chattanooga Medicine Co.,
Chattanooga, Tenn:
McElrees Wine of Cardui, manufac.
tured and sold by you, has no equal a.
a remedy for the ailments for which l.
is recommended. 1t is surely "Wo
mems Relief,n as all females who are
troubled with irregularities peculiar t.
their sex land how few are not will
testify when once they try it.
The innate modesty of woman pre-
venting her from letting her trouble
be known alone prevents thousand
from getting relief. All who once us,
Wine of Cardui, or Woman's Relief
will find tt true to name, and Evil
have the witness within themselves
Being "f;tmily man," numerous in,
stances of the wonderful effect of thil
great remedy, "Woman's Relief" hav,
come to my knowledge. 1t needs only
to be tried to speak for itself.
You can Use this as you please. Very
truly, Ton CRUTcHFIELD.
He told the writer about the
time that this letter was written
that he had known several cases
where ladies had been invalids fol
years, and could find no relief until
by his advice they tried McElree's
Wine of Cardui and in every case
they were cured.
This wonderful remedy was un
doubtedly in use fifty wears ago
but its great value was known
to only a single family and few
of their acquaintances during al
of that time. Since its great merits
have been made known through
the publication of such letters az
this one from Mr.. Crutehfeld anC
other good men like him, thou
sands of suffering women have beer
restored to health and happiness.
The manufacturers have reports
of thousands of ladies who have
been cured after long years of suf
fering, and when they supposed
there was no possible relief fol
them except in death. We know
that many false representations are
made by advertisers, but as Mr.
Beecher says, 1.-THE remedy for ly-
ing advertisements is for homes
men to tell the truth" No on,
will believe that Tom Crutchfelt
would recommend anything tina
he did not know was just what h,
said it was, and that after reading
his letter any lady could as conf
IDENTIFY buy McElree's Wine o
Cardui, as she could take the med
icine prescribed by the most cele
brated physician. If more mel
like Mr.. Beecher and Mr.. Crutch
field would tell the people the trutl
about articles advertised, Their
would be less harm done by ly in,
advertisements.
